At launch, satellites are exposed to various types of structural loads, such as quasi-static loads, sinusoidal vibrations, acoustic/random vibrations, and shocks. The launch environment test is aimed at verifying the structural stability of the test object against the launch environment. Various types of launch environments are simulated by simple vibration, acoustic, and shock tests considering possible test conditions in ground. However, the difference between the launch environment and the test environment is one of the causes of excessive testing. To prevent overtesting, a notching technique that adjusts the frequency range and the input load considering the design load is applied. For notching, specific procedures are established considering the satellite development concept, selected launch vehicle, higher system requirements, and test target level. In this study, the notching method, established procedure, and development of a notching toolkit for efficient testing are described.

KOMPSAT-1(Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite), which opened the space era in Korean peninsula, was developed from 1994 and launched successfully in December of 1999 at VAFB, USA. This paper presents a launch environment test of KOMPSAT and a short description of environment test facilities at Korea Aerospace Research Institute as well. The launch environment tests of KOMPSAT-1 satellite, such as vibration, acoustic, pyro-shock and mass properties measurement test, were performed during its system integration and test period. The participating engineers concluded that KOMPSAT-1 satellite would withstand environment during its launch period.

After launching, spacecraft is exposed to extreme environments. So spacecraft should be tested after design/manufacture to verify whether components can be operated functionally. Acceleration transferred from launch vehicle to spacecraft produces quasi-static load, sine vibration and random vibration. Random vibration is also induced by acoustic vibrations transferred by surface of spacecraft. And shock vibration is produced when spacecraft is separated from launch vehicle. To verify operation of spacecraft under these launch environments, separation shock test, sine vibration test, acoustic vibration test and random vibration test should be performed. This paper describes these launch environment test requirements.

Koreasat-3 was successfully launched by an Ariane IV launch vehicle on September 5, 1999. Although the primary purpose of the satellite is to replace Koreasat-l, it also can extend its communication service coverage over the Asia-Pacific region. A spacecraft is subjected to severe dynamic loads during launch period. To verify the safety of spacecraft under the launch environment, dynamic tests should be performed such as sine sweep, acoustic and separation shock tests. This paper presents the launch environment test results of Koreasat-3. A total of 188 acceleration responses was measured and compared with the design requirements of components and spacecraft. Dynamic characteristic change was also investigated by comparing between low-level pre/post vibration results. From the review of test results, it is concluded that Koreasat-3 was designed and manufactured with the margin of safety enough to survive the launch loads of Ariane IV.

Satellite launch vehicle is exposed to some dynamic environment during its flight. Particularly, the safety of launch vehicle structure is surely verified under vibration environment in low frequency range. Sine sweep test is generally performed to describe this low frequency vibration environment. Dynamic property of vibration fixture is considered to get the correct property of target object. This vibration fixture should really be an extension of the armature in the form of a very rigid structure that can transfer the required force at the required frequency. An optimum fixture would have its lower natural frequency about 50% higher than the highest required forcing frequency in order to avoid fixture resonances during the test. In this study, the vibration mode analysis considering the mass of target object to design the vibration fixture. And the modal test of vibration fixture is performed to conform the design.

In order to use a GPS antenna for launch vehicles, it should be installed on the skin of the vehicle and be able to normally receive the live GPS signals during the vehicle's full flight mission. The GPS antenna on the surface of the launch vehicle is, however, exposed to higher temperature than inner equipments of the vehicle due to aerodynamic heating generated during the flight. Test specification of the GPS antenna for qualification of hot-temperature is determined to $+95^{\circ}C$ that is higher than inner components by $25^{\circ}C$. Test results in this paper show that the GPS antenna normally operates under the above environment.

The satellite experiences the launch environment such as vibration, acceleration, shock induced by rocket and the orbit environment such as high vacuum, no gravity, high temperature and cryogenic. Therefore, the satellite should be designed and manufactured to endure such environments. Also, special care must be taken on the assembly of parts and subsystem. Finally, we describe the environment test of microsatellite to ensure the reliable operation during launch period as well as in-orbit operation.

인공위성은 로켓을 이용하여 궤도에 진입하며 발사과정 중 진동, 가속, 충격, 소음 등과 같은 극심한 발사환경을 경험하므로, 이와 같은 발사조건에 견딜 수 있도록 설계/제작 되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 우리별 3호 비행모델의 구조체에 대해 소개하고, 발사과정에서 겪게 되는 환경을 지상에서 시험한 발사환경시험의 과정과 결과를 소개하고자 한다.

소형인공위성에 적용을 목적으로 전기추진시스템의 연료공급부가 개발되었다. 연료공급부는 연료로 사용되는 제논을 높은 압력과 밀도의 가스상태로 저장하게 된다. 제논은 상온에서 임계점을 갖는데 발사환경에서 과도상태로 시스템에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서 발사환경에 대한 본 시스템의 기능적 구조적 안정성은 지상시험을 통한 검증이 필요하다. 본문에서는 연료공급부의 설계점과 검증시험내용을 논하고 시험결과를 정리하였다. 검증시험을 통해 본 시스템이 발사환경에 대하여 안정성을 확보하고 있는 것을 확인하였다.

위성발사체 액체추진기관 구성품은 발사체의 발사 준비 및 비행을 위해 다양한 작동 mode 및 다양한 환경에서 설계된 성능을 보장하여야 한다. 설계 요건을 충족하는 개발이 이루어졌는지 그리고 개발, 인증, 수락, 조립, 발사 전 시험, 발사 및 비행운용 등의 모든 개발/운용 단계에서 발생 가능한 환경에서 정상작동을 보장하는지를 확인하는 일련의 시험을 통과하여야 실제 목표 궤도에 위성을 투입하기위한 발사체에 장착이 가능하다. 이러한 시험들에 대한 요건들은 이미 발사체 선진국에서는 수십 년의 경험을 바탕으로 그 기준을 마련하고 있다. 현재 한국형발사체 개발을 추진 중인 한국에서도 지난 10여 년간의 액체추진기관을 이용한 발사체 개발에 대한 연구/개발이 있어왔으며, 그 간의 경험을 바탕으로 국내 실정에 맞는 액체추진기관 구성품에 대한 시험요건 구축이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 국내에서 설정 가능한 액체추진기관 구성품 시험요건에 대한 기준을 고찰하였다.
